Royal Look Chipkan Sherwanis
The Mughal dynasty has left a rich legacy behind. In terms of ethnic and traditional attire we have a wide range of fabric and designs that owe their credit to the Mughals. The craftsmanship and the artistic skills of those days are in practice even today. Chipkan (also spelt as Chapkan) reminds us of the royal style that the Mughal kings once followed. Chipkan A Ashutosh Gowariker’s directed Jodha Akbar featured Hrithik Roshan (playing Mughal king Akbar) in a heavily embroidered Mughal styled Chipkan. Those who have watched the Bollywood movie would surely know what a Chapkan looks like.
Velvet Chipkan Sherwanis: For Its Royal Look :
Velvet was introduced to the Islamic royalty by Kashmiri merchants during the ancient middle age era and from then on. Velvet Sherwanis has gained vast popularity in different regions. This fabric is known to the world because of its soft and glossy texture. Back in ancient times, velvet was a royal fabric that could only be worn by the aristocrats but now it’s a globally celebrated fabric and easily available to common consumers as well. Velvet Sherwanis is a big hit this season after being worn by various Indian Bollywood celebrities. Velvet has a unique charm and beauty within that can be replaced by any other fabric. The fabric velvet has its own specialty that it does not need heavy embellishments or embroideries to make a lasting impact on the wearer and the viewer as well.
Feature Of The Chapkan Sherwani :
An important feature of the Chapkan is the sleeveless jacket. The jacket adds much to the overall look of this type of Sherwani. Around 3 inches longer than the inner, the jacket features dense embroidery work, termed as Mughali handwork. The dense Jardozi work on the jacket imparts elegance to the attire and makes it look royal. The heavy Mughlai embroidery on the jacket is done by expert craftsmen, who have been doing this for years. The design pattern and the handwork on the jacket is available in a wide range and you can select an embroidery pattern that goes with your mood and sense of style.
The Chapkan comes along with a churidar pajama. A light shade churidar goes quite well with the design of the Sherwani. It is due to the frock shaped lower half of the Chapkan that a churidar always matches best. The churidar pajama also comes in printed fabric. But it will always depend upon your preference whether you want to wear a plain churidar or one with printed designs on it. When the churidar has multiple folds at the bottom, it looks even more impressive and adds much to your appearance.
